The Lynch Quarry Site, also known as the Lynch Knife River Flint Quarry, and designated by the Smithsonian trinomial ''32DU526'', is a historic pre-Columbian flint quarry located near Dunn Center, North Dakota, United States. The site was a major source of flint found at archaeological sites across North America, and has been estimated to be a mine source of the material from 11,000 BCE to 1600 CE. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011.〔(NPS NHL list for North Dakota )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Midwest Archeological Center )〕 Knife River flint was a prized toolmaking material among North America's prehistoric population, as it is particularly easy to work into projectile points, knives, and scraping tools. Materials from Knife River quarries have been found at prehistoric archaeological sites in northern Canada, New York, and New Mexico, and would have been traded by area tribes for other materials such as shell, obsidian, cloth, and (in the early European contact period) metal weapons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site: Geologic Resources Inventory Report )〕 The Lynch site, whose known extent is at least has an estimated 20,000 pits from which flint was quarried. The pits range in depth from , and are accompanied by spoil piles. It is located on the banks Spring Creek, a tributary of the Knife River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=November 2010 Archeology E-Gram )〕 The site is remarkably well preserved, despite agricultural activity over parts of it, and the digging of shafts for coal mining in some areas. At the time of the site's nomination as a National Historic Landmark, detailed examination of the site for specific work areas had not taken place; the entire site is covered with chipped and flaked stone.〔 ==See also==
